I was a volunteer at the Suffield, CT house and it never was described as being in Greater Springfield. It was "Connecticut River Valley". Why someone started saying Greater Springfield after it was announced as Connecticut River Valley I do not know (probably hoping it was). From day 1 any paperwork etc said Connecticut River Valley. I am from Massachusetts and it would have been nice but who cares what state they were from. If you had been down there to experience 1/100th of what I did you would have a much different view.
